I like to call this song my progressive acoustic piece as it's quite long with lots of different chord changes. It even has two guitar solos!

A distant life sits in the picture frame
And brings back more than memories and simple smiles
But a simple smile can hide a tortured soul
Look beyond the image to the mind of a child

Though I know many years have gone
Still it seems to linger on and on

Now I'm searching for the light
To guide me to a place where I can hide away
And I'm searching for the night
To lead me the place where I will stay

Life trails behind me, just a shadow now
I know I'll never recapture the golden days of youth
Time will heal those wounds and memories will fade
Lost forever in the dark, a hidden truth

Though I know many years have gone
Still it seems to linger on and on

Now I'm searching for the light
To guide me to a place where I can hide away
And I'm searching for the night
To lead me the place where I will stay

Armed with the knowledge of advancing years
I feel the pain of growing older, of letting go
But I won't look back, afraid of what I'll find -
Just a river of regret that will always flow

Though I know many years have gone
Still it seems to linger on and on

Now I'm searching for the light
To guide me to a place where I can hide away
And I'm searching for the night
To lead me the place where I will stay
